As unemployment dropped this month to 2.46m people concerns remain about the large number of young people who are out of work. Total unemployment stood at 2.46 million for the three months to November, down 7,000 on the figure for the previous three months.This is a great video on youth unemployment.

The number of 16-24-year-olds out of work also fell over the three-month period between September and November, down from 943,000 to 927,000. However concerns remain that if we continue to have such a large number of young people unemployed the future productive capacity of the economy may reduced.
